There are probably some six billion people in the world who don’t speak French. Which can be a bit of a bugger. But if you don’t, we do. Along with English, German, Italian, Spanish… Specializing originally in market research but given the frequent overlap of topics, we also now include conferences and business meetings, as well as coaching in English-language talks and presentations.

As our business has flourished over the years, our work in market research has grown from translating and interpreting focus groups and IDIs to conferences on various topics, from cosmetics to medicine. Ironically, perhaps, we also strongly encourage French people to learn to communicate in English…

Previously on its own site (fullfocusfrance.com, now closed), here you will find a list of central locations in France, companies whose main job is hiring rooms for market-research focus groups, interviews, concept labs, etc.

Frogologue, with great perspicacity and economic foresight, has entered the publishing business. Sales have doubled every year. In 2016, we hope to continue on this trajectory and beat our record and achieve the grand total of 4!

As much as we love the French language, we also believe France’s struthionine educational attitude towards English does it a great disservice. “An End to the French Language” is both a book and a talk on why the French should learn English.

“I worked with Simon Hamilton on a project interviewing French consumers for a Danish client. Simon was incredibly professional, and you could tell he has many years of experience in this line of work. He did simultaneous translation, conveying all the tonalities and nuances of the respondent's tone of voice, but in a swift and discrete manner. This is particularly important to us, as we want to draw as little attention as possible to the translation, and aim to create a dynamic and lively interview situation. Another great thing about working with Simon was that he quickly familiarized himself with the interview's subject matter and all the technical terms involved. All in all, working with him was a very pleasant and positive experience.”
